I can't be bothered with that blithering Harrisite holdover anymore. Like every other right wing douche bag, the analysis of any situation starts from a foundation of moral condemnation and it's just too dreary.

Anyone who's still using "political correctness" as a framework within which to examine complex problems related to socialisation needs to have her PhD revoked.

You're out of your league Sandy. Go back to teaching kindergartners phonics.

She and Sun talk about Facts,... yet I find absolutely no facts in her article or the one print in the Sun. It seems they state a "Fact" and we are left to assume that they proof to back that fact up, or that they have evidence to justify the facts that they claim,...

Yup the facts don't add up, like the assumption that a majority of youth violence is caused by "Blacks", she doesn't back it up with reliable stats or studies, she just throws it out there and I guess we expect to assume that she is correct,...

There have always been families who were poor and their children were not violent.

Heh, not only that, but have always been families that were filthy rich and their children have killed mom and dad, or raped kids.

For instance: Page Contents: Teenage Violence / The Nature of Adolescence / Adolescent Problems (Failed Communication, Lack of “Normality,” Wealth) / Denial and Lies: from Dogs to Teenage Pregnancy / Clinical Diagnoses / The Issue of Violent Entertainment / Should We Blame Guns?- - - - - -Incidents of school violence involving teenagers in the U.S. have caused many persons to start asking why these things are happening. “What causes teenage violence?” they ask. “How could kids from such normal families do such things? The parents were well off, they lived in nice houses, they had everything.”

Aw, shite. Wait, wait, all is not lost - there is a demographic that is more prone to suggest violence and to stereotype and to publish contact info:For these girls, did the false sense of power they felt on the Internet carry over into their everday lives? Is that what gave them the courage to carry out this senseless act of violence? Or have kids always been this violent toward each other, but now they just have the technology to display it?http://www.momlogic.com/2008/04/cheerleader_ambushed_on_video.php?page=4VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE, TROLLS!

2. Being or perceived as being overconcerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, perceived being a key word.

(Sorry, I had a bad day listening to (fundamentalist) christians discuss homosexuality and if it should be forgiven. The Politically correct Pentacostals say: it is absolutely wrong, but okay. I said: ???)
